Elaine has spent her life surrounded by wild places; when she started to volunteer with BBOWT she realised that nature conservation was the job of her dreams. As well as looking after nine nature reserves, she coordinates volunteers and works to inspire the next generation to look after wildlife, too.
Wild places provide careers, opportunities and inspiration for all ages.
